Fucking hell there's some awful takes already in here from the lineup.
If I had to hazard a more reasonable guess it would be something more along the lines of - "look lads what we did at the weekend was not good enough, you lot need to get out there tonight and put it right".
Challenging a group of players that he trusts to actually play the way he thinks/knows they should is much more likely than just putting them out for the bants/because he is shit/because he wants to get fired
